Speed Without Shortcuts

The Challenge

You Need a Story, Not a Process

You don't have time or resources for a lengthy process or discovery phase. You just need a market-ready Story built for your business and delivered fast.

Teams default to feature lists. Founders over-explain. Sales makes it up as they go.

The market gets mixed messages from you due to lack of clarity or alignment.

You lack a clear, market-ready storytelling framework to build messaging from.

FAQ

Your Questions, Our Answers

Still have questions? Just reach out—we're happy to help you determine if Story Starter is right for you.

What's the difference between Story Starter and the other engagements?

Very little—that’s the point. If you have existing decks, a website, or competitive intel, we’ll use it. But Story Starter is designed for creating potent core Story elements at speed.

Who needs to be involved from our team?

We interview 2-3 key voices—typically founders, product leaders, or GTM executives. You’ll also need a Core Project Owner to partner with us throughout the engagement. We'll align on exact participants during kickoff.

How much of our team's time is required

Minimal. Expect a kickoff meeting followed by 2-3 short interviews. Then, review of the Story when it’s ready. Roughly 6-8 hours total across the engagement.

What will we be able to do afterwards?

You’ll have a foundational Story your teams can activate immediately, including consistent key messaging for pitches, decks, website, and sales conversations.
